I loved the HP books, and I don't believe everyone else needs to. But I often hear people say they read the first 2 or 3 and then got bored. I can understand that because the first 3 books were kids books.
However, imo, someone who stoppped at book 3 doesn't have a complete picture of the series. It began to morph in book 4, and by book 5, which was quite dark, the series was a completely new animal.
I think that contributes to the "I loved them" vs "I disliked them" debate, because they are comparing apples to oranges.
